To give you an idea of what is possible, here is the morning portion of my plan for our upcoming January trip. These times are the estimates from TP, but honestly, based on my past experience I have always been able to do a lot more in the same amount of time. For instance, we usually ride PP and WTP more than once back to back. I’m not sure if TP is being careful or if these new times reflect the new FP+ world we now live in. I will try to remember to report back here in a couple of weeks and let you know how it went. Crowds are projected between 3-5 for my trip. 1) 7:30 Crystal Palace This is a before park ADR at the same time as yours. I plan to be done eating by 8:45. We will eat fast, get the bill as soon as we sit down, and not wait for characters if they haven’t made it by yet. From past experience, I know however that it is very hard to get a large family done by 8:45 especially if you want to see all the characters. We are only 2 adults this trip. 2) 9:17 Peter Pan's Flight I think TP is off on this time. It isn’t factoring in the fact that I will already be in the park near the ride before 9:00 and should be able to walk on first. We have always ridden with a walk on either before or right at park opening time. Sometimes, we have managed 2 or 3 walk-ons before the majority of the rope drop people have made it back to the ride. This just depends on if they let you in line or on the ride before they open the gates or if they hold you at the land entrance. 3) 9:27 Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Again, I have always been able to do this more than once walking on both times. I estimate it will be closer to 9:00 – 9:15 when we do this from past experience, especially if we do PP only once. 4) 9:39 Mad Tea Party 5) 9:45 Dumbo 6) 9:53 Barnstormer 7) 10:03 LM (16 minute wait) 8) 10:29 7DMT (FP+) 9) 10:44 IASW 10) 11:11 HM (FP+) 11) Lunch at 11:00 As you can see, you can get a lot done in the first 2 hours the park is open. I don’t see any issue with getting all your attractions in. The only issue is that some of your attractions are spread far apart, so there isn’t a great way to do them all without a certain amount of backtracking. Your rides will build lines pretty much in this order: Peter Pan (You want to do this within the first 10 minutes the park is open or sooner. If not, save it for a FP+) Winnie the Pooh (You want to do this within the first 30-45 minutes the park is open.) Jungle Cruise (before 10:30) Under the Sea, Dumbo, People Mover (before 11) It's a Small World (expect a line during busy times, but not a bad line) These attractions are not generally affected by lines: Philharmagic WDW Railroad Tom Sawyer Island Swiss Family Treehouse Your best bets for FP will be Peter Pan and Jungle Cruise. Next best, People Mover, WTP, LM, and Dumbo. I would suggest using FP for Peter Pan, Jungle Cruise, and People Mover. The last one doesn’t get really longs or 30 min lines until later, but because it is by itself on the other side of the park, it would be nice to leave it until later. The FP won’t save you a ton of time, but it will help a little. Here are two options that try to minimize walking while keeping the rides that build lines somewhat first. Option A: 1. CP ADR 2. If you can be in line or at the Fantasyland rope for PP by 8:45, ride. If not skip to step 3. 3. WTP 4. Under the Sea 5. Dumbo 6. Philharmagic 7. IASW 8. Peter Pan FP+ 9. Swiss Family Treehouse 10. Jungle Cruise FP+ 11. Tom Sawyer Island 12. WDW – take it round to the Main Street stop 13. Go to Tomorrowland 14. People Mover Option B 1. CP ADR 2. Peter Pan at or before 9:00 3. WTP 4. Under the Sea 5. Dumbo 6. WDW railroad from Fantasyland to Main Street 7. Go to Tomorrowland 8. People Mover 9. Go to Adventureland 10. Swiss Family Treehouse 11. Jungle Cruise FP+ 12. Tom Sawyer Island 13. IASW 14. Philharmagic
